The NFL is the only one of the four major pro sports to have its All-Star Game at the end of the season. This makes some sense for the Pro Bowl; the league doesn’t need to interrupt its regular season to do any barnstorming. It’s also a more relaxed environment for the players – Honolulu in February, with no opponents to worry about the following week.

But will anyone watch when the AFC and NFC clash this Sunday? Nearly 100 million Americans have already seen one of the greatest football games ever at Super Bowl XLII. Conversely, last year’s Pro Bowl got a 5.1 rating, or roughly 5.75 million viewers. This year’s event might not even out-point NASCAR’s Budweiser Shootout at Daytona, not when Tom Brady and Randy Moss aren’t playing.

The Pro Bowl format can’t change until after next year, but don’t be surprised if the NFL moves the game to the weekend before the Super Bowl.
